    Robert Penn does a terrific job weaving together the history of bicycling, and specifically, the history of the bike components, with his own extensive biking experience and his own passion to supervise the building of a new bike. Anyone who has a passion for bicycling, even of the spinning variety, will enjoy, and be enlightened, by this book.

    Robert Penn has saddled up nearly every day of his adult life. In his late 20s, he pedaled 25,000 miles around the world. Today he rides to get to work, sometimes for work, to bathe in air and sunshine, to travel, to go shopping, to stay sane, and to skip bath time with his kids. He's no Sunday pedal pusher. So when the time came for a new bike, he decided to pull out all the stops. He would build his dream bike, the bike he would ride for the rest of his life; a customized machine that reflects the joy of cycling.

    Story

    Overweight - aren't most of us??? Get off the couch & walk in the Kitchen, in the LivingRoom in the Basement. Walk anywhere with Leslie. I'm a 332 pound 60 year old woman who bought this audio, loaded it on my iPOD Shuffle & started walking last week. I surprised myself yesterday when I bounced down the 7 outside steps at work without touching the siderail or going down one step at a time like a kid. My knees weren't stiff & my right hip didn't give me hell. One week folks - one week!! I think I'm gonna pick up the 1 mile walk next. Nice thing about Leslie's walks is that you can do a short one, pick up where you left off or do the whole thing where ever you want to walk.

  • "as much "a-ha" as it is &..."

    7 of 7 helpful votes

    cold have been shorter only because the author makes the same point more than once. but they are good points. it is well established that regular exercise can improve mood. but this book trys to get into how this process happens. the author does seem to have a bias toward walking and running as the prefered forms of exercise for health. but just understanding how anything done for physical health affects mental health is a great place to start.

It celebrates what’s real and shows what’s illusory, describes what’s uplifting and beneficial and what’s flaky and dangerous—and why. Broad illuminates how yoga can lift moods and inspire creativity. He exposes moves that can cripple and kill. As science often does, this groundbreaking book also reveals mysteries.
